A brand new show about hiphop’s most notorious pranksters.

Join Mike D, MCA and AdRock – the Beastie Boys – as they go from teenage punk rockers to international rapping legends.Using a mix of live music and DJ-ing, wetime from the hiphoppers of late ’80s New York to the early ’90s gangsters of LA – all the way to the total globalisation of hiphop. This loud, crazy show – a hiphop history tour and a playful exploration of the rules of cultural appropriation – will have you laughing and gasping in equal measure. Whether you know your Ghostface Killas from your Ice Cubes or if you’ve never heard anyone rhyme to a beat in your life, you’re guaranteed a good time. Join us this Christmas and be a part of hiphop history. Not for the easily offended.

About the artists

Adam and Simon formed this partnership to make this show. They both have their own companies (CPT favourites Superbolt Theatre and d’Animate) but wanted to join forces on something personal to them that they loved and that others would love too. They’re creating a new style of theatre that mixes rapping, DJ-ing, physical comedy and even puppetry to create the eclectic, hilarious style that a show about the Beasties deserves.@LicensedTo_Show
